Jay McGuiness shortest priced favourite in Strictly history

Jay McGuiness is the shortest priced Strictly Come Dancing finalist there has ever been, according to leading bookmaker Coral who make the former boy band star the 2-9 favourite to be crowned the winner this weekend. McGuiness has remained at the head of the betting since his first week on the show.

A win for any other celebrity would come as a shock, but Georgia May Foote is the most likely to cause an upset at 6-1. Kellie Bright can be backed at 11-1, while Katie Derham is the 18-1 outsider.

“This has probably been the least competitive Stricly’s, with Jay McGuiness dominating the betting from the beginning. We will be absolutely shocked if he doesn’t win, with the rest completely friendless in the betting,” said Coral’s Nicola McGeady.
